I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian here (I eat eggs and dairy). Would love to connect with other vegetarians here and hopefully find different types of healthy vegetarian food people eat.

Totally disagree with the theory that diet soda tricks your body to crave more sugar or food. Of course if you use it as a meal replacement, it should do that because its zero calories and your body needs calories. But if you drink diet soda as a supplement to your diet, it wont cause any cravings at all. I have been…

I think I have probably found a cure for my dinner ice cream addiction - eating frozen bananas. It gets me the fruit intake, and it also makes me feel like I am eating a dessert. I dont care about the sugar in banana as its natural sugar. My worry is only about added sugars. I am not a diabetic and so dont have to worry…

As long as the drink does not contain caffeine (caffeine dehydrates!) and other added ingredients like milk/creamer, it should count towards your water intake. I made herbal tea flavored water and enjoy drinking it. I make a glass of herbal tea (naturally decaffeinated) and mix it in cold water and then bottle it up in…

The thing with artificial sweeteners is, there are certain people who have problems with artificial sweeteners. Its not as if artificial sweeteners affect everyone. Diet Rite is very good. I just tried the White Grape flavor, and its fabulous! Lovin' it.

Yes, I eat them back... I don't try to stay under my goal for "Total calories eaten". That's too hard. The only thing I look at: is my net calories for the day atleast 300 calories (it not more!) less than the daily goal. I do this for "margin of error" so that if I overestimated my food intake, I need to account for them…

Fitbit is coming up with their new generation tracker soon. Hopefully that will build upon Force's features without the rash thing (it has nickel underneath). Hope they add a heart rate sensor, that will better track calories/sleep/activities.

I've been using the Fitbit Flex (the wrist strap one, but not the Force thats the costliest). So far, it has been super good for me. I don't like trackers that I have to keep in my pockets. i almost always forget them and they get washed/damaged in the washing machine. And also for sleep tracking, I don't have to wear an…

I know how tough it is if you eat Indian food. I use MFP and eat Indian food (90-95% of my week) and the calculations are all wrong. That's why what I do is to make sure that I eat 300-400 cals less than my goal (to account for error in calculations). Rice and oil are the biggest culprits in Indian food. Especially if you…

I would rather advise you to get rid of your laziness to exercise. Let me ask a few questions: 1. What do you like to do for fun? Listen to music, watch movies? If its music, get a good mp3 player (or smartphone which has music capabilities) and listen to it while working out. For working out, break it into 5 different…

This thread's replies are just so motivating. I had a blah week last week but still somehow managed to maintain my weight instead of putting it on. This week, I have worked my butt off so far. Working more to account for the extra calories I will eat during the weekend. Hopefully, my Sunday weigh-in should look good. I…

Underestimating your calorie burn should be good for you, right? If you stick to what Fitbit says you have burnt and sync your calorie intake based off that, you will actually lose more weight. And that's probably the purpose of Fitbit for which most people use
